From 3 year olds to pensioners they turned up in numbers

Bittern glides through yatton Station.

Oliver Cromwell rested on Sunday 19th and was replaced by Bittern. I went up onto the passenger footbridge to get my pix. That way no-one could get in front of me.

15 to 20 minutes before Bittern was due they were already in numbers along the south platform.

I got a  picture of them and then quickly moved back to the east side of the bridge. Got some pix of her coming under the road bridge but the best of them is this one.

I had some of the Union of South Africa some years back but this is the first of Bittern at Yatton Station. Carol Deacon used my Oliver Cromwell pix at Nailsea in the Nailsea People website.  I thought I would send her these as well. See what happens. I aksed for a credit to Jusben Morguefile.com not to Derek Lilly. She told me that she uses morguefile pix quite often.

What a bloody fool Pietersen was. NO. IS.

As soon as anything is posted on the net other people can access it - Or did the recipient start flapping their lip about the mail? 

As far as being caustic about fellow players well that is one thing but to send details in an EMail is absolutely asking for trouble.

Makes me think of Bellafonte's song "When will they ever learn".

Oliver Cromwell preserved Britannia class steam loco with the Royal Duchy Express at Naislea/Backwell Station

Went over to Nailsea-Backwell Station this time to get steam pix. Last week Yatton Station was jam packed.

Not many people there only about 10 photographers at most I reckon. When I got there at about 8.35 a.m. there was only 1 on the platform. He asked me if I knew what time the 1st steam would be. I told him about 9. Then he asked about the 2nd one. When I told him there was only one this week he said. "The paper said there is two" I said "No the Torbay isn't running this week acording to Steaminfo UK.. It will be back again next week"
He repeated that the "Paper had said there was two" I left him to it. I bet the paper was the Western Daily Press. They can always get things wrong. 
 

Young Orb spider repairing web

Female hover fly Episyrphus balteatus

The last couple of days I have noticed some small hover flies darting about. This morning one was flitting around by the everlasting sweet pea plants.I grabbed the A77 and the Tamron 90mm lens and managed to get a couple of pix. Turned out to be a Marmalade Hover fly. I had thought it might be a Platycheirus species until I saw the pic.

Trouble is they are so small until you see an enlargement you can't tell exactly what they are.

Quite a few Orb Spiders catching up on repairs by the cottoneaster bush.

How these idiots like to boast on Twitter of their misdeeds.

Then they get surprised when taken up on them.

See that doctor that could not keep her mouth/pen quiet.

Now there is a swimmer that admits he cheated in the Olympics.

What they should remember is

It is not a secret when more than one person knows about it.

Found a very interesting link concerning picture rights.

It gives a very serious run down on why Royalty Free does not mean public domain.

I tried a new sandwich spread recipe Sunday, I find making my own gives me a better variety. of tastes. 


Recipe 1
Onion, cheese and Ham
4 ounce onion, 3 ounces cheese,   a slice of lean ham,
Cut all into pieces  and put in blender or shredder. Spin but end when the things are still coarse, (according to choice)

 Recipe 2, 
4 ounce onion, 3 ounces Mature cheese, 3 Frankfurter sausages.
Cut into pieces, blend/shred until fairly fine. I prefer about 4 to 5 seconds.

New recipe.
4 ounce onion, approximately 3 ounce corned beef, approximately   3 ounve Morrisons Roast back Bacon.
Cut up and blend until a paste. This makes a very good, soft, meat pate. 


I always use a good tasty fresh onion this gives moisture to the mix as welling as adding a certain tartness to the flavour..

Duke of Gloucester runs through Yatton station with the Torbay Express.

Having had my Uploading trouble solved for me I went down to Yatton to take steam pix.

Very lucky 2 steam trains running with a half hour spacing between them.

So many people there on the first one - Oliver Cromwell they swamped the place, I had a good spot until someone plonked themselves down in my way.

For the secong one - Duke of Gloucester I went up onto the footbridge over the line.

That way no-one could get in front of me unless they were held up by sky-hooks.
